Chapter 255 Two Reasons
“Can you respect your host?”
Cherise knew he wasn’t actually angry, so she beamed and cast a meaningful glance at Lucy, hinting at Lucy to pass Lennon the cutlery.
Lucy pursed her lips. She picked up the utensils gently and handed them to Lennon.
Her fingertips brushed past the veins on the back of his hand as she did it.
It was as though her fingers burned.
She quickly pulled away and looked down to start eating.
Cherise was focused on the delicious food on the table, so she didn’t notice Lucy’s strange behavior.
She smiled when she saw Lennon holding the cutlery in his hands. “Since you’ve started eating, 1 won’t hold back!”
The famished girl finally started eating heartily.
Upon seeing her devour her food ravenously, Damien knew she was hungry.
As the man took Cherise’s favorite food and put it on her plate gracefully, he spoke nonchalantly, “Lucy, are you feeling unwell?**
Lucy froze and immediately shook her head. “No.”
“It’s too hot, so I can’t breathe.”
She took a deep breath, removed her coat, and rose. “I’m going out for some air.”
After that, the girl turned to leave.
Lucy shut the door of the private room. Lennon didn’t look up at all and continued eating.
Damien shook his head in exasperation. “Aren’t you going out to check on her?”
Lennon frowned. “Why?”
“Your restaurant’s private room made her feel like she can’t breathe.”
His voice was deep and indifferent, as usual. “Shouldn’t you go and check on her?”
Lennon continued eating. “What does it have to do with me?”
“I’m telling you to go out.”
Damien looked at hum. Coldness and impatience had crept into Damien’s eyes.
It was as though Damien felt like Lennon’s presence was a bother.
Lennon was uncomfortable under Damien’s stare.
He furrowed his brows and glared at Damien. “Cherry is eating so ravenously. She doesn’t have the time to hug or kiss you.”
“Whether she has the time to do so is none of your business.”
His light and nonchalant voice was also harsh and stern as it resonated powerfully. “I’m telling you to go and check on Lucy.”
At this time, Lennon rolled his eyes. He put his cutlery down and turned to leave.
When the private room door shut again, Cherise burped. She looked up at Damien. “Honey, why did you insist on chasing him out?”
Damien looked down and indulgently wiped away the grease on the corners of her lips. “Two
reasons.
“Firstly, I don’t want others to see your unladylike appearance while you’re eating a chicken leg.”
Cherise was surprised. She looked at the chicken leg at the side of her plate, and her face instantly flushed.
The chefs here were outstanding. She was attracted by the golden chicken leg as soon as she entered the room.
But after it was on her plate, she felt that eating the chicken leg before Lennon was too awkward since she still didn’t know him very well.
Therefore, her chicken leg was left untouched on her plate even halfway through the meal. She hadn’t taken a single bite of it.
“Eat up.”
Damien lifted his hands and stroked her head. “If you like the food here, I can take a chef home.”
Cherise had never turned down the food at home. She ate everything Susan made and always
finished her food.
This made him think that she genuinely liked Susan’s cooking.
But seeing her restrain her excitement here, he understood she didn’t actually like Susan’s cooking.
She only ate out of politeness. Or perhaps she didn’t want others to think she was conceited.
